[MassHistPres] Does anyone recognize this library?

[Nicole Benjamin-Ma]

Hello everyone, 

I'd appreciate any help you may be able to provide in helping to identify a MA library that might have a twin in NH. I've attached a photograph of the 1904 Byron Merrill Library in Rumney, NH, designed by the firm of Randlett and Griffin (Concord). A few years ago, the library had a visit by a MA resident who remarked that the building was an almost exact copy of the library in her town, and she even noted which small interior details were missing. Unfortunately, the staff cannot remember in which town this MA library is located. I've done some brief web-based searches (MACRIS, architects, Carnegie Libraries) but as of yet have not come across a likely candidate. There are some similarities with the library in Rochester, NH, also designed by the same firm, in case that is useful.

Any leads provided by the listserv would be greatly appreciated!
